KBS is at it again: Topp Dogg's 'Salieri' deemed unfit for broadcast

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

The song ‘Salieri’ by the group ToppDogg (P-Goon, Kidoh, Jenissi, Seogoong, Gohn, Sangdo, Hojoon, Hansol, Xero, B-Joo, Nakta, Yano, A-Tom) was qualified as inadequate for broadcast by KBS.

After 5 days of deliberation, KBS considered that ‘Salieri’s lyrics ‘쉿 꺼져줄래’ (Shh, will you leave me alone?) were a vulgar expression and they were ‘inadequate’ for broadcast.

Besides ToppDogg’s ‘Salieri’, another 18 songs were qualified as inadequate today.

(From this point on, there’s irrelevant information omitted).

T/N: Even though ‘꺼져줄래’ is a slang that basically means ‘will you leave me alone’, it can also be taken as ‘will you fuck off’.

interesting that g.na's i'll back off so you can live better uses the word too (a bunch of songs use it, it's just the one that came to mind first ) and i don't think it was banned or censored. idg where the line is between ok and offensive

I can't remember if there's an interview where he explicitly said that but yeah I think he did! He talks about being a huge fan of Zico here > http://toppdoggintl.tumblr.com/post/71057503869/131126-interview-rookie-from-the-underdog-to

i think the ban has more to do with the fact that 쉿 sounds more like shit than shh, a common thing idols try when they wanna cuss but they need to get past the filters (even though it hasnt worked since big bangs lalala lmao) bangtan had a song banned for the same reason.

woah wich bangtan song was banned?

[yunhalove.livejournal.com]

a ton of songs were deemed "unsuitable for broadcast" cypher, 좋아요 (though the fbook references probably contributed to it), etc. where they spell shit = 쉿 and fuck it = bucket. bangtan tries to cuss pretty much everytime they think they can get away with it lmao

[x3raindropsx3.livejournal.com]

I understand cypher but i had no idea about the others. damn lmao they would sneak those words in
